Applying over a vector of functions

Question

Given a vector (actually a list) of functions:

 fs = c(sin, cos, tan)

and a vector of values:

 xs = c(.1, .3, .5)
         


        

Answer 1

Nice and simple:

mapply(function(fun, x) fun(x), fs, xs)

But I agree with @flodel. I was also looking for a base function for function(fun, ...) fun(...) and was surprised that there doesn't seem to be one. On the other hand I've never needed it, so far.
